Maxine Quits WWE and Other Irrelevant Headlines of the Week

While they may comprise of a smaller percentage of the overall wrestling audience, Internet dirt sheets have had a substantial influence on the culture of professional wrestling and, in turn, the death of kayfabe.

However, with the over-saturation of news in the information age of today, a lot of unwarranted and uninteresting stories make their way through a system of news dissemination that has virtually no filter.

This week saw more heaping scoops of dirt sheet headlines that the wrestling world really could have done without.

Maxine Quits the WWE After 3 Years of Development

From WWE.com

WWE quasi-Diva Maxine caused quite the stir this past week when she confirmed reports via Twitter that she had indeed quit the WWE.

While she showed promise as a dynamic character and talented talker as an FCW and NXT mainstay, Maxine never made enough of an impact on the main roster for news of her departure to warrant much fanfare.

Maxine got yet another small taste of the big stage this past Monday on RAW during a diva battle royal, but she was quickly eliminated in what turned out to be her last appearance on WWE's flagship show.

Sunny and Matt Hardy's Girlfriend Engage in a Twitter War

Twitter is the microblogging website that has given us online social media beefs between titans from Brown vs. Punk, to Brown vs. Pink, to Brown vs. Meek Mill.

But since Twitter is a service open to the public, it's only natural for feuds to develop between stars of lesser stature.

A perfect example occurred this week when tag team legend Matt Hardy's girlfriend, Reby Sky, engaged in a nasty Twitter feud with WWE Hall of Famer Sunny over Sycho Sid and his alleged reputation for no-showing events.

Sunny is currently the youngest member of the WWE Hall of Fame, and on this day, she acted like it thanks in part to similar immaturity from Sky.

Jim Ross to Call the First 4 Episodes of Revamped WWE NXT

From WWE.com

Jim Ross anywhere near an announcing booth is always great news; however, the fact that the WWE still has the greatest wrestling announcer of all time under contract and he is being used as the voice of an invisible, small-time pro wrestling show is inexplicable.

Tyson Kidd Earns a Spot in World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank

Tyson Kidd is one of the premiere workers in the WWE, and he will probably never get booked properly enough to emphasize his supreme talents.

However, Kidd seemed to have finally seen a breakthrough this past Friday on SmackDown when he qualified for the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank after defeating Jack Swagger.

Kidd's spot in a high-profile pay-per-view match is encouraging, to say the least, but given his lack of emphasis over the past few years, his inclusion is likely an excuse for WWE to feature a big spot during a match short on high-flyers.
